QISG leverages Quanta's comprehensive resources to deliver collaborative solutions for energy infrastructure needs. We bring together engineering, safety, quality, procurement, QA/QC, scheduling, environmental, permitting, and land management expertise to design and execute complex infrastructure projects with efficiency, consistency, and safety at the core.

We are now driving a major transformation in how work gets done through AI—embedding intelligent systems into business processes to accelerate execution, improve decision-making, and scale expertise across the organization.

What You'll Do

As an AI Architect, you will design, build, and deploy AI-driven solutions that directly support business operations across QISG. You will work embedded with cross-functional teams to solve high-impact problems, rapidly prototype solutions, and turn proven ideas into scalable production systems.

You will:

• Lead high-impact AI engagements end-to-end, owning discovery, scoping, solution design, and delivery for complex, executive-visible initiatives
• Build rapid AI prototypes that demonstrate immediate business value and evolve into production-ready systems
• Productionize AI solutions, ensuring they are scalable, maintainable, secure, and usable in real operational environments
• Develop agentic workflows and AI-powered automation to streamline complex business processes across engineering, procurement, finance, legal, and operations
• Enable knowledge extraction and intelligence from unstructured and structured data sources (documents, spreadsheets, systems, and images)
• Automate and optimize manual workflows such as reporting consolidation, validation processes, document review, and operational tracking
• Mentor and upskill team members and business partners, helping drive broader AI adoption and capability across the organization
• Define and promote AI best practices, reusable patterns, and accelerators that improve speed and consistency across engagements

• Building agentic workflows that streamline multi-step business processes
• Extracting structured insights from large volumes of technical documents and enterprise data
• Automating manual workflows such as invoice validation, reporting reconciliation, and backlog reduction
• Consolidating financial and operational reporting across multiple systems
• Enabling searchable knowledge systems for engineering, legal, and project teams
• Creating AI-powered tools that unlock new ways to discover, analyze, and act on enterprise data
